Natural gas and diesel generators for sale, rated from 25 kW to 1.9 MW, for buildings, shops and sites across Edmonton and the Capital Region. Every unit is sold from our Red Deer yard, with the full specification on its listing and a written price for the set you choose.
Each card is a generator offered for purchase, read from our inventory every time this page loads, so a sold unit drops off by itself. The cards show output, voltage and fuel; open one for the full specification and the badges that say whether it can also be rented or bought on rent-to-own.
Narrowing it down? The diesel generators for sale and natural gas generators for sale pages split the stock by fuel and cover what to check on each. Used generators for sale puts the used and new-surplus sets side by side, and generators by size lists the whole generator fleet in kW order. Load banks and engines are on Equipment for sale, with everything else we sell.
The kW figure is the first number buyers look at and rarely the one that rules a set out. These four do, and each depends on the site rather than the generator.
Many buildings in the city have utility gas at the meter; plenty of lease sites, yards and rural properties around the region do not. Confirm the supply and the pressure available before you settle on a fuel, because changing your mind afterwards means a different generator.
Industrial and commercial services in Alberta are often 600 V, while plenty of equipment is built for 480 V or 208 V. A mismatch brings a transformer into the job. Every card below states the voltage, so check it against the service before you shortlist.
A set that waits for outages and one that is the main source of power are rated differently, and the prime figure is the lower of the two. Ask which rating a listing's kW is before you size a load against it.
A unit that sits outside an Edmonton building through January has to start on the coldest morning of the year. Ask what the specific set carries for the cold: block heater, enclosure, and for diesel, how it will be fuelled for winter.
NexSource Power has one location, in Red Deer, and the generators listed here are sold from there. For an Edmonton buyer that changes the order of things: questions that are easy to answer with the unit in front of you are worth answering before it is loaded, not after it has arrived on your pad.
Get the hours and the condition onto the written quote. Ask for the set to be run at a real load rather than started and idled; load banks are part of the same fleet, so request that run when you enquire. And raise transport to your site in the enquiry, so that how the unit reaches Edmonton is agreed in writing alongside the price.
If you are weighing condition as much as fuel, the new vs. used generator buying guide sets out what hours, overhauls and surplus storage tell you about a set's remaining life.
A generator connected permanently to a building is an electrical installation, and a gas set is a gas installation as well. Both need permits from the authority having jurisdiction, which inside city limits is the City of Edmonton, and both are the work of your licensed contractors. Bring them in early: the transfer switch, the gas line and where the set can legally sit are often what decide the size and fuel, not the other way round.
Buying makes sense once you know the load is staying and how big it is. If either is still a guess, a rental term on the same kind of set costs less than owning the wrong one. Our generator rentals in Edmonton cover the Capital Region with delivery and field service, and renting vs. buying an industrial generator walks through where the break-even usually falls.
On these units, rental payments go toward the purchase if you decide to keep the set:
No. NexSource Power operates from Red Deer, about 150 kilometres south of Edmonton on the QE2, and every generator on this page is sold from there. Edmonton and the Capital Region are part of the area we serve, not a separate location.
We do not publish prices. Two sets with the same kW rating can differ in hours, condition, voltage, enclosure and controls, and each of those moves the figure. Choose a unit from the listings, or describe the load, and we will quote that set in writing. Call (403) 887-4567 to start.
Start with the fuel the site already has. A building or shop on a utility gas line can run a gas set without anyone hauling fuel to it, and a gas set has no fuel to gel in January. A site with no gas service, or one that moves, usually points to diesel, with its own tank. Both are listed above, and the fuel line on each card says which a unit runs on.
Ask about the specific unit. A diesel set needs fuel suited to the cold and a way to keep the engine warm while it waits; NPI Series gas packages can be specified with a winter package, a block heater and a speed-controlled fan. If the generator will sit outside through the winter, say so in the enquiry and ask what that unit carries for it.
Installation is not something we quote on this page. A permanent standby or prime installation is wired by your licensed electrical contractor, under the permits the authority having jurisdiction requires, which inside the city is the City of Edmonton. Bring us the load and the voltage and we will help you choose the set; your contractor takes it from the pad onward.
Yes. Most of the fleet is offered for rent as well as for sale, and a card showing both badges can go out on a rental term first. Rent-to-own, where rental payments count toward the purchase, applies only to units whose listing carries the Rent to Own badge.
Tell us which listing caught your eye, or send the running load, the voltage, the fuel on site and whether the duty is standby or prime. We will match it against what is for sale and send a written price, or tell you plainly if nothing listed fits.
